"But Basil, we aren't human. It doesn't matter if we are mutants, afflicted, or cursed. We are something other than human. I don't know If we are better or worse, all I know is that we are different. This world hates us and we can't afford to even appear weak to those who hurt us. And beleive me, there are many people who want to."
Static electricity started to build up in the air as Franklin grew angry with each memory he revealed. "My mother started ritual flogging after she learned what I was. When that didn't work, she sent me to a priest to to exercise me while forcing me to fast for days on end. Finally, she sent me to a doctor who experimented on me with ways to change me. Then there are the ones like us that will use our fears to make us their slaves. Use us until they decide to slaughter us."
